CM9 OWB holster options

[stumprat]

The only holster I am lacking for the CM9 is an OWB belt holster. When I had a Kel-Tech PF9 any 3 inch 1911 holster would fit. It opened up more options for holsters. Has anyone found a holster that crosses over for the PM/CM 9?

I found a great value in a high rise belt holster for my CM9. It is the Tagua Open Top Belt Holster. Only $45 including shipping for a smooth leather lined, comfortable, easy draw holster that holds the gun high and tight right behind your hip (with a good gun belt). No better value out there.

There's also several available from Kahr

How low is the muzzle with no cant?

Well, as you can see, it barely goes 1/2" or so below the belt. That's the beauty of this high rise holster. Real good for CC with a loose shirt over it. If you wear it at about 4:00 (or 8:00 for lefties like me), and use a good belt (preferably a gun belt), the gun will ride high and tight against your body and won't print. And when you are seated, the gun rides so high that it doesn't dig in at all, and the 4:00/8:00 carry means it sits to the side just enough to not interfere with the chair back. I use a form fitting executive office chair with very prominent lower back support, and yet the gun clears it. You could easily spend twice as much and not get such a likeable holster, and it probably wouldn't be lined, either.

The only thing I dont like about this one is the fact that you dont get a full combat grip. The leather covers the entire trigger gaurd so your fingers will be against the leather, instead of the bottom of the trigger gaurd. It will work, but not as well as one that lets your 2nd finger touch the trigger gaurd.

SBRGuy,

Actually, the holster is a little loose at the top, so the gun can rock forward enough to get your finger against the trigger guard as you draw. Plus, the smooth leather lining makes for a very smooth, quick draw. I find that I can get a perfect two finger combat grip with my trigger finger extended strait beside the trigger guard, ready to bend and contact the trigger as I am bringing the gun to presentation. A very good holster, especially for $45 shipped.

SBRGuy,

If you want a low cut holster with extreme combat grip access, look at the El Paso Street Combat Holster at $70 + shipping.



It is suede lined. A nice holster from one of the oldest holster and gear makers in existence.

Yeah, I forgot that you MAKE holsters! Duh!

$55 with those decorations, nice! I'd go with the black thread, too.

Are you a lefty?

Yes! I've been carrying this rig for about 2 months now.

That's a cool holster! Do you do anything OWB with snap loops? Us lefties have to take our belts almost completely off to put a slotted belt holster on. Here is a beauty from RGrizzle....

I will agree with SBR guy, that holster has to much leather near the trigger guard, i understand what your saying Jfootin but to me your waisting more leather for something that is better off with less.

Not yet but I really need to get on that! I hear ya... taking a holster off from the left side of the body is a big job!

while we are in the mood of posting left side holsters here is a cross draw i made for a customer

(i know its for a righty but it still has to go on the left side!!)
